There were twenty three stab wounds on Julius Caesar's body following his murder in the Roman Senate, March 15, 44BC - Counting Jim Braden who fired the first shot & William Greer who fired from the front seat of the Presidential limousine, there were 23 shooters at the murder of President John Kennedy!

I made my first visit to Dealey Plaza on July 28 this year.

The Chosen undoubtedly had considerable influence in the Roman empire.They did not get along with Nero and Caligula, This is the reason that these emperors have such a poor reutation today. History is written by the victors.
